Man stabbed while walking down street in Clifton

The 39-year-old man was stabbed in the right side as three men – all wearing black hooded sweatshirts — brushed by him, Sgt. Robert Bracken said. After the attack, the three men ran east on Center Street toward the Passaic River.

The victim felt a sharp pain in his side, but he was unaware that he was stabbed until he made it home a short distance away, Bracken said.

So far, police are unaware of a motive for the attack, Bracken said. He speculated that it could have been a planned robbery that went awry. There is no suspected gang link to the attack, Bracken said.

Anyone who saw the attack or the three men — one black and two Hispanic — who ran down Center Street can call police at 973-470-5900.
